Cyd Rust is proud to support Lupus research and awareness. 30% of the proceeds from "The Lupus Paintings" Collection, will be donated to the Lupus Foundation of America, Inc. Cyd was dignosed with Lupus in 1993 and has found art and the creative process to be a coping mechanism for various aspects of the disease. You can help Cyd support this cause by purchasing one of her Small Studies. While you won’t get a tax write off for yourself, you will get a Cyd Rust original painting, and can take pride in knowing you helped Cyd support this great cause.
